Kojima Called 'Crazy' for OD: Why Xbox Was the Only Publisher That Believed In It

Speaking publicly following the PC launch of Death Stranding 2: On the Beach, Kojima disclosed that big companies called him "crazy" for pitching OD, describing the game as "something that no one has ever seen before." The enigmatic creator's track record of genre-defying experiences clearly wasn't enough to convince the wider industry to take a chance on his latest vision.
